Tokyo-based, Australian-born illustrator Adrian Hogan, has turned the disposable into the collectible by painting beautiful panoramic street scenes onto disposable coffee cups. The appeal, he says, is that people like to see how the scene unveils as he drew it.
“Once I drew on the coffee cup, I filmed it and rotated the coffee cup at the same time.
“So you have the panorama of the background and the coffee cup in the foreground,” Adrian told CNN online.
Hogan, a design graduate, came to Japan five years ago to teach English.
He then returned to his native Australia to study fine art but maintained his link to Japan and returned in 2013.
